YEREVAN, AUGUST 12, ARMENPRESS. The Utair airlines flight UTA880 from Yerevan to Moscow took off from the Zvartnots Airport in the Armenian capital at 17:00 after a 10-hour delay.

The Boeing 737 was scheduled for takeoff at 07:05, August 12, but was delayed due to technical problems.

The Civil Aviation Committee had earlier said that Utair is working to fix the problem and that passengers would be provided with food and accommodation in the meanwhile.

Authorities did not elaborate what the “technical problem” was.
